I closely followed the original 2010 Prius II head unit replacement procedure for upgrading to a Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD written up by Spiderman (from this forum), and along the way, I meticulously documented every step with pictures and lessons learned. I then put it all into the attached document for you to use in your stereo upgrade or just for research. This document also has info on in-car DVD parking brake bypass setup. Special thanks to Spiderman for his initial write-up & guidance. The original write-up was brief, to-the-point, and very helpful, but not so dummy-proof. You can find that short-form version of this procedure, here: http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii...-toyota-prius-model-ii-head-unit-upgrade.html Enjoy!
Excellent write up, I believe this should also be stickied. Thank you Aleman, this will help lots and lots of people. *thanked*

Why not add a post with you attachment to the existing sticky? Having a separate sticky for every install post might be unwieldy. Having one sticky for install instructions makes sense. This is another installation report which might help some members. http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii...ony-xnv-770bt-installation-2.html#post1274922
